US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has confirmed he received Iranian threats on his life and has relocated from his home to a military base, according to reports from Israel Hayom. Bessent made the disclosure during a CNBC interview, stating he will not yield to intimidation.

The threats come as the Trump administration implements what Bessent described as an “economic exile operation” targeting Iran’s economy. He delivered a sharp message to Iranian leadership, stating: “I am not going to succumb to fear.”

Bessent’s security situation represents an escalation in tensions between the US and Iran, particularly following heightened economic sanctions and diplomatic pressure from the current US administration against Tehran.
